He is correct.
You can make more money making games for two consoles and the PC, then the PC by itself.

Isn't it always better to release a game on multiple platforms than 1?

I can turn that argument on its side and say that its better to release a game on 2 consoles and pc instead of just one console.

i have been a pc gamer since i was 2, but i also play alot of consoles. When pc gaming had developers creating titles that utilized pc specific features it was good. they could afford to make pc exclusives because there was not as much piracy and games were cheaper to dev.

now most developers realize their game will not always be a AAA title. So they cut quality by dividing up dev teams to create console water'down game.

these devs are just lazy and blame piracy. Valve has had and still has a huge community of gamers, because they create games that people will buy and go back to year after year

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
